I like the registration of that little Cessna Here is a picture of her "sister" from Finland




Sadly this one was severely damaged in an accident, I think they were able to salvage the wings but the fuselage was not repairable I am sure our friend Bob would have fixed it in no time though.

While we're at it, here's the Aussie version.


Actually, if you look closely at the one in Mauricio's post it's "CDX" not COX. Anyway, still a nice coincidence.

Very Nice , looks like a good fun day !! Thanks Mauricio for the photos

Great Thread Mauricio!!!!

I agree, it's a nice coincidence, mmmm ... they're not sisters but maybe they're cousins !!
Thank you for your message!

Friend, it's a beautiful plane, with an elegant line!
Thanks for sharing!

I especially like the "Air-Tractors" (agricultural aircrafts).. because I've been wanting to design/model one that has functional "spray-nozzles" under the wing.



It would have to be large enough to carry an additional small tank of soapy-water solution and maybe a small windshield-washer pump to produce visible "bubbles" simulating the fertilizer-mist... The pump could be powered by a lightweight 11V LiPo battery-pack. What do you think? It would be a nice "working scale-model" project.

Our CEF member "Phil" (pkrankow) built a small control-line "Air-Tractor" for the CEF Speed Contest a few years ago. It was one of my personal favorites!



 

Hey Roddie !, thanks for your message !, the Air Tractor is a beautiful and very powerful aircraft.
I have a friend that is dedicated to aerial fumigation and has three units, one day I invited and flew together, he took me, we were hugged there in the cabin of a single seat, lol, it was amazing, we flew almost 40 minutes, jumping mounds , flying over ponds and fields, a few meters from the ground, jumping wire fences looked like you were on a roller coaster, at one point, I asked you to stop doing these maneuvers, I was dizzy lol! .... If you like the Air Tractor can take photos in detail, my friend will have no problems!
Regarding the bomb to simulate the fog, I tell you my experience:
In my case I used a bomb for my acrobatics models with gasoline engines, injected liquid into the exhaust and into the smoke.
One day the Sullivan pump stopped working and since I could not get it here, put one of Peugeot's electric skimpy, and it works perfect.
Remove the speed control from the Sullivan and place it in the Zorrino of the Peugeot, program the radio and use that pump as slave channel of the engine throttle channel, therefore making adjustments, as you accelerate the engine, accelerate the pump - electric skunk and injects the liquid into the exhaust.
To make this installation, you must build a model of at least 1800 mm wingspan, so that the wing load is maintained appropriate.
One might experience, perhaps, that instead of soapy water you use the smoke, which in appearance at a distance and passing through the ground, would give a fumigation senzation.
The battery that I use for the pump is 7.4 volts of Li-po, has enough power!
Here are some photos:

ohhh friend, yes, I've done some crazy things!....
some years ago!

This is the engine, it's a beast !! 58 cc and 8 cv!

Roddie, here in a Pitts of Great Plans, the Peugeot pump works perfect!:


The engine is a DLE 55 cc:

Ah Ah you been holding back my friend , Very impressive fling and the smoke make it even better ! That engine is a Beast !! If i ever get to Argentina i would look you up and Love to see fling in person from you. But for now good to have a friend like yourself on this forum !!
